Physical Properties
- Density: The density of 0.954 g/cc (0.0345 lb/in³) contributes to the material’s rigidity and strength, making it suitable for packaging hazardous materials.
- Water Absorption: Water absorption is 0.010 %, which is essential for maintaining the integrity of containers storing hazardous substances that may react with water.
- Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: With a moisture absorption at equilibrium of 0.010 %, it ensures dimensional stability and prevents moisture – induced changes in the material’s properties.
- High Load Melt Index: At a load of 21.6 kg (47.6 lb) and a temperature of 190 °C (374 °F), it is 0.10 g/10 min, reflecting the material’s processing behavior under high – load scenarios.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: High – Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Modification Features:
- High – load melt index indicates good processing performance under specific conditions.
- High tensile strength and modulus contribute to the product’s rigidity and durability.
Applications:
